Except that Batman is one of the characters that is keeping his recent history so all Grant Morrison's Batman stories are still valid. In fact his series Batman Inc will also be getting a new #1.

And Morrison has also being handed Superman. Of course since he wrote the only Superman story in recent years I'd say he's entitled.

Well there's a very real possibility that by 2013 DC may no longer own the classic Superman costume due to the Schuster lawsuit.

It shouldn't go unnoticed that Supe's new costume gets rid of all the stuff that the Schusters may get. A blue leotard, a yellow belt, red trunks. I'd even bet the erasure of the marriage is also to do with the fact that may have to eliminate a love interest named "Lois" altogether.

Now Batman I don't mind because it looks like Batman but again, the underwear is gone. He looks like he's wearing diapers under his tights. I wouldn't mind it if his costume were all black, but it's not. The gray on him just looks goofy. There's not enough black. And his belt isn't yellow either. I would of preferred all black with a yellow belt and the yellow oval with the Bat symbol on his chest.

It seems similar is Batman Inc anyway minus the oval and clearly visible cod piece. The design of his belt has always been interchangable depending on the artist. Personaly I'm not sure the all black works in the comics. DC tried a Tim Burton-esque costume after Zero Hour if rememeber correctly and it just didn't look good.
